Mrs. Gadow is the finest, honest and har doweling professional in the industry. I am so thankful for her dedication and performance in my case.

I am grateful for the legal advice and assistance from Steve Smith and his team during the divorce process. I felt very safe with his professionalism, knowledge and experience during a difficult time. He was honest, fair and straightforward in presenting options and in offering guidance to manage the many issues that arose. I would highly recommend Steve Smith and his team if you want an excellent, first-class experience.

Sadly, after 26 years of marriage, I was unable to continue with the status quo. My quality of life had degraded to an intolerable low and a multitude of relationships that I cherished were suffering as a result. Mainly my children. As a faith based person, I faced a multitude of inner conflicts when contemplating ending my marriage. A unique and undeniable dynamic precluded us from finding a resolution and "dissolution" was, unfortunately, the only option to restore my quality of life. I was represented by Jenny Gadow from the Phoenix based firm, Fromm, Smith and Gadow, PC No matter how you approach divorce, you must take a leap of faith and place a large portion of your life in the hands of your council, essentially a complete stranger. The impact of the decisions made in your behalf, by your attorney, will impact you for the rest of your life. From day one Jenny was understanding of my needs and without doubt made decisions that were in my best interest. She was concise in her opinions and clearly explained her reasoning when ever I had questions. She listened with an open mind and rapidly filed the information for use at a later time, if necessary. From me, she expected and asked for the truth and honesty as they were the foundation for our case. She processed everything with amazing efficiency and was sympathetic to the costs I was incurring throughout. Opposing council saw a combined net worth and threw caution (and time) to the wind. I genuinely feel opposing council saw that either me or she or we were going to pay with little regard for who or how it would impact anyone. No doubt, Jenny represented me. She was genuinely concerned about the financial burdens I faced throughout and she strived for efficiency. Worth every cent and more as far as I'm concerned. What should have been simple, evolved into a two year struggle ending in trial. Along the way, at an early hearing, Jenny went head to head over a small matter, I walked away knowing my leap of faith was validated. At trial, Jenny out prepared, out organized and often confounded opposing council. She often knew opposing councils exhibits in greater detail and was far more efficient. Her outside professionals were fantastic and they created an efficient team. Donna, Jenny's assistant is top flight in every respect. After trial, before the decision, I found comfort in knowing that Jenny, laid before the judge, much of my life in an honest and truthful way. She did so in a respectful manner. She didn't belittle or demean my ex wife to show me a better person. She didn't ask for the stars to get the moon. She clearly presented my position and supported and documented every detail from which a just decision could be made. As far as the ruling; The much better quality of life in front of me is directly attributable to Jenny. I am forever grateful to her for donning the armor and doing battle on my behalf.

James and his staff were excellent with our case. He was very prepared, punctual and professional. He had an early grasp of the direction of our case and carried through with impeccable performance. We would recommend him without hesitation to family and friends.

Jenny Gadow is a top notch family attorney. I found her accommodating and very easy to work with, she is also exceptional in the court room. She really shines!! When you need a family attorney your are typically trying to negotiate two forms of stress, Financial Stress and Emotional Stress. Let's face it, no attorney is going to keep that financial stress from being parked right up there at or around a 10, not a good one anyways. But on a scale of 1-10, Jenny really helped me keep my emotional stress down to a one or zero. She is worth a look and if there were 6 or 7 stars I'd rate her that high, but alas, only 5 stars!! Jenny is great! To choose anyone else you are doing yourself a disservice.

The quality and excellent services at Fromm Smith & Gadow were phenomenal. From the initial meeting until the end of my case Jenny's team provided exceptional service. Very professional and respectful of all of my concerns. She is definitely someone you want on your side to help you through. Highly recommended!!

I had the pleasure of working with Kathy Stillman and her team at Fromm Smith & Gadow. Right from the beginning she put my mind at ease and I knew I had the right person to represent me. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of family law services. Her mix of professionalism and compassion is a perfect balance and was much needed at a difficult time.

Kathleen Stillman and her team at Fromm Smith and Gadow provided excellent and quality service. Kathleen was highly knowledgeable in all aspects of my case. I feel that my needs were met and that the firm was invested in me and my case. I highly recommend them for any and all Family Law Needs.

I am a client with Fromm Smith & Gadow, with James Cork as my attorney. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him and his supporting staff for the outstanding job they did for me in my family law case. Mr. Cork handled my case with the utmost professionalism. While working with Mr. Cork he kept me informed on every aspect of my case from start to finish. I am extremely happy with the outcome and I sincerely appreciate all of the help and professionalism shown by the firm. I would highly recommend Fromm Smith & Gadow.

I have really enjoyed working with the folks at Fromm Smith & Gadow; I have needed to retain them twice over the last couple years. My attorney - James Cork was amazing, always keeping me informed and providing reasonable expectations; he specializes in family law and that is not just a title. I truly believe that he exhausted all the options when considering the different scenarios that I was facing to ensure we proceeded with the best possible results in mind. I feel that he kept the retainer at a reasonable amount that I could maintain through the course of the case, he also didn't make appointments or keep conversations lengthy to rack up the costs. He has been extremely professional, concise and decisive during the most challenging circumstances.

James L. Cork II has been working with me on my family law case (child custody, parenting time, legal decision making & child support) for years now. Looking back at the very beginning of my case, I can clearly see mistakes made by my previous attorney that cost me dearly; don't make the same mistake of being underrepresented in family court. James Cork is extremely knowledgeable, professional and confident, which shows in court. He responds promptly to all emails and is very attentive to detail. One of his attributes I appreciate most, however, is that he doesn't sugar-coat; he instead offers a very honest and realistic perception of what is feasible and what is not and advises accordingly. Worth the price, very highly recommended! James is currently an associate of the Fromm, Smith & Gadow law firm; I have not worked with either Stephen Smith or Jennifer Gadow, and therefore cannot speak to their abilities.

I needed an attorney for my child custody case and was extremely scared, nervous and uneasy while starting this process. I have never been to court before and this being my first and only child, I wanted someone to place my full confidence and trust in with my sensitive and personal situation. As soon as attorney James Cork II took over my case all of my anxiety was gone. I am happy to say that I made the right choice with him. He has been very thorough while collecting and reviewing my documentation and extremely professional when explaining my options and the steps he was taking while representing me. I recommend James Cork II and his team (Rhonda and Karen) to anyone who needs an attorney and hold them in the highest regard.
